Which would actually be good in the case of a http://
URL, correct?  In other words, if we made this change,
wouldn't we end up getting complaints that
"www.someURL.com" is being broken up and hyphenated
(and perhaps linking properties lost)?

We have to be careful that majority cases are properly
handled:  DAV:one-two-three is used less often than
"http://www.someURL.com"; (or "www.someURL.com") in
text, and so the proper handling of the latter should
take precedence.

This one may be a good idea.

Yes, please post it to Bugzilla (we may not have time
to get to it for awhile though...), *but* using "diff
-u" option so we see the +'s and -'s changes in the
first column.  Also make sure you list in the bug
description text the "before" functionality and the
"after" functionality (as you did above) so other
users/developers can comment on the proposed changes
in business rules.

Thanks,
Glen
